We sit down with MARA CEO Fred Thiel right after earnings to unpack the company’s shift from a pure Bitcoin miner to a powered land and data center developer focused on AI and HPC. We push on what truly constrains growth, how Texas grid policy affects timelines, and what investors should watch as leases and joint ventures turn power into long-term cash flow.

• Q2 results in context of Bitcoin price sensitivity
• Building a 4.8GW pipeline of powered land and future data center capacity
• The “three constraints” framework: capital, compute and capacity
• Why data center leases change financing versus Bitcoin mining risk
• ERCOT batch zero pause, phantom queue clean-up and Matagorda readiness
• Using Bitcoin mining to monetise power while data centers get built
• Tenant selection, yield on cost and avoiding long-term credit mistakes
• Community impact, property taxes and local benefits of data center builds
• Why waiting for AI market maturity can beat being first
• HUM and Vertebrae as optionality alongside the core strategy
• Long Ridge acquisition, FERC approval process and keeping power on-grid
• Starwood partnership mechanics, valuation per megawatt and leased-site options

We break down fresh earnings from MARA and CleanSpark while tracking Bitcoin’s price action and why miners are being valued more like power and AI infrastructure platforms. The big question is whether power portfolios, Texas approvals, and signed data center leases can offset weak mining economics and restore investor confidence.

• Bitcoin price context and why it still drives sentiment for mining stocks
• Miner heat map read-through and how to think about value ranges
• Why power capacity and megawatts per valuation matter more than headlines
• Upcoming MARA, ABTC & KEEL interviews and what we want to learn from leadership teams
• MARA earnings highlights, hash rate growth, liquidity, and the push toward HPC
• Matagorda County Texas site details and the approval steps that matter
• Bitcoin-backed loan mechanics, pledged collateral, rates, and why it’s a unique lever
• Why the market is waiting on signed digital infrastructure leases
• CleanSpark earnings overview, balance sheet points, and the Sandersville plan
• Sandersville lease structure, long duration terms, and why predictable NOI changes the story
• Texas ERCOT audit discussion and why serious developers welcome tighter process

We walk through TeraWulf’s Q2 progress with CFO Patrick Fleury, focusing on Lake Mariner execution, lease economics, and why liquidity is a competitive weapon in AI data center buildouts. We also dig into power as the true bottleneck, how utility partnerships work, and what needs to happen for growth to scale without breaking timelines or returns.

• CB3 coming online and beginning to earn rent revenue
• Commissioning progress for CB4 and CB5 with a phased data hall ramp
• Fluidstack amendments and rentalized costs that lift starting rent
• Design changes that increase critical megawatts and boost lease term revenue
• Liquidity strategy and why holding large cash balances enables flexibility
• Letters of credit as a tool to protect ratepayers and shift execution risk
• Capital allocation priorities across equity contributions, LCs, and new sites
• Why annual growth targets stay disciplined despite massive demand
• Supply chain, capital markets, and electrician labor as binding constraints
• Power first strategy and preference for front of the meter grid connection
• Industry outlook on leasing, future M&A, and potential REIT style evolution
• Insider buying rationale and how management frames contracted value
• Financing risk management with multiple contingency paths for debt
